The eight year old has been talking about April Fool’s Day all week. He’s been plotting, planning, and reading up on it.
Specifically, from April Fool’s Day From the Black Lagoon*.
He asked me last night if they could have muffins for breakfast, so he could stick Lego guys (that he didn’t like […]
I stand over his high chair as he tentatively takes a finger scoop of red icing, poised with my camera to capture the first taste. I see the look of pleasant surprise, and the twinkle in his eye as he digs further into the small circular cake each time, finally […]
It’s safe to say that I’m burned out on training for a half marathon. It just is….no one will argue.
I started training for the Disney World Half back in September, and while I was training for that, I signed up for another one here in Kansas CIty in April. I […]

We actually paid babysitters on Valentine’s Day (because my parents live so close to us, we’ve never had to before), and we had close to four whole hours by ourselves.

1. Superhero surgery.
2. Hugs and kisses before bed.
3. Love notes […]
The snow started while the kids ate breakfast, and continued while we drove to school. I took them inside, got them settled in the warm, lively building and shielded my ears and eyes as I walked back out to the car.
I sat with the warm air blowing at my feet […]
So, on January 27th, 2010, I published my very first blog post. Back then I had a blogspot.com address and had no idea what I was doing. Sometimes I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing, but I’ve gotten a little better at this blogging thing (maybe?).

We went to my cousin’s wedding this weekend. The girls are FASCINATED by weddings, and brides, and fancy dresses. And a reception with a dance floor and free-flowing sweets is the perfect Saturday night for the 2-8 age range.
I’ve never heard of tossing sprinkles before, but Erv thought it was […]
